encouragingly, at least for me running:

xkbcomp broken.xkb :0.0

reproduces the brokenness for me, and re-setting the good map makes it all happy again :-) so - that sounds at least like X might be doing what it is told at least later in the day.

Unfortunately, I hadn't downloaded the libX11 and the X server code, so I got slowed down. I tried to play with kde3 instead of gnome to reproduce the bug, but without success. It could be because I didn't put the exact same settings as Michael's (although I tried to reproduce what I saw from gconf). It could also be because of the way KDE handles the XKB stuff (absolutely no idea how it's handled in KDE). Adding a call in libxklavier to spawn "setxkbmap" on startup solves the issue. Also, it seems that the issue appears because of the first call to XkbLockGroup (when a first window gets focused after g-s-d is started). Still a lot of things to experiment to understand what's going on, though... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Maybe it's run before the X server does some stuff under heavy load (which is possible on boot). I'd love to ask you to reboot 10 times and see if it happens 10 times :-) Also note that it's not gnome-session that is important for the workaround, but gnome-settings-daemon.

I've submitted an ugly workaround (running setxkbmap from gnome-settings-daemon after initializing the xkb stuff...). At least, it means our users won't be hit by this for 11.0.

Keeping the bug open to track the bug and find the right fix.

The right fix is done: we have a newer X stack. Closing the bug. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
